Edit: Guys, don't use the anonymous report feature to report bad trades, ok? We're not going to respond to that. Message the moderators instead.
Welcome! We're proud to announce that trading is now open! Please read the side bar as all information is in there. We have carried bans over from /r/wheelanddeal, so keep on the lookout for those fellows still.
Our dear friend Pickle-Pee, Pump-a-Rum has decided to visit us from beyond Lothric in hopes of swapping all your toots and booms. He's agreed to stick around for a while, and assist everyone in their attempts to profit from one another, as long as we play nice. He has asked that we keep tabs on who "give the good pickle-pee, who give the good pump-a-rum."
He has decided to personally handle all positive karma reports. He only responds to +karma when giving out positive karma, no more, no less, and only after a trade has been completed, with a little back and forth. He's quite picky and he won't cater to you when you've edited your post, so make sure you reply to who you want to give karma to with a new post! He doesn't leave his nest much, so he should be able to notice when you've dropped some karma instantly, and in any thread.

Pleae Note: Not every type of item can be traded in the game! Here's tradable items in Dark Souls 3:
Souls can be transferred, except boss souls.
Armor can be transferred with no limitations.
Rings can be transferred, no limitations on ring level (+1,+2, etc)
Weapons/Shields can be transferred, as long as the target player has a weapon of max upgraded level equal or superior to the item being transferred ‡
Upgrade materials cannot be transferred.
Covenants offerings cannot be transferred.
Key items cannot be transferred.
‡ Even if you no longer have a weapon of the max level you managed to upgrade, the game "remembers" what is the max upgraded level you had. The level of special/boss weapons must be multiplied by 2 to find the comparison value against normal weapons.

Let's also take this opportunity to provide five simple tips on how to prevent scamming from happening to you:
Don't trade with brand new reddit accounts. They have nothing to lose. Accounts less than 4 days old (we've reduced this to 1 day old for release) cannot post here, but still, look to see if it's a legitimate reddit account with a post history.
Talk to them first. Use your gut. If you really feel that they might not follow through, maybe it's not worth the risk.
Keep your trade discussions inside the trade threads. It helps us know what's going on. It helps other users know what's happened to you, and vice versa.
Reddit is a karma-driven site. Use that to your advantage. Feel free to check out their post history. Learn about who you're going to do business with a bit.
There's also a possibility for false-negative karma. In the event you're given warning flair and you don't agree with it, don't freak out! Perhaps it was a misunderstanding. Maybe your power cut out right when the trade was to occur. Maybe you thought you dropped it and logged off. We're not here to screw up your karmas, we're here to keep the community abreast of the trades that occur and how they went. Good trades get rewarded, bad trades get reported. If you can resolve the issue with the person who reported you and you BOTH tell me that you're happy now, we see no issue removing your warning.
In the event you are assigned multiple warnings and do not attempt to fix it, we will report any and all identifying information we have regarding your account or any other account we know of that's linked to you. This is so that you can't create multiple reddit accounts so you can continue to conduct fraudulent trading practices.
Below is the type of letter you would receive on a first strike offense. Remember, if you receive two strikes, you're banned and our collective community will hunt you down on any account you post on.
Hi,
We have gotten messages reporting that you were not following through on the agreements in your trades. This was not from the GhostBlu account, but from the GhostGreen account. As such, we've given GhostGreen negative karma, listed your PSN account on our Dealer Karma Repository, and have also listed your reddit alias, GhostBlu, on the same repository.
I would like to politely ask that you discontinue this behavior. If you feel this message was in error, I'd be more than happy to discuss with you your side of the story and possibly mediate a solution between you and the party in question.
I do not wish to see this continue. For the most part this is a community of people who are very giving and good natured. Many of them may have been willing to even assist you with your goal, even if you couldn't have properly compensated them, as they may have many of these items laying around. This community works best when you work with the community, though I understand this item is particularly difficult to obtain. I hope you take this sentiment to heart and begin trading in honest.
If you have karma from /r/wheelanddeal that you would like to carry over, please message the moderators to request a karma copy as we must do it manually! Expired: June 1st, 2016, so don't wait to ask! EXPIRED
Happy trading, and play nice :-)
